Hi Laura, Here are some reasons I may have overheard.
Stuck halfway: "We have an OAI-PMH endpoint, so we're open, right?" Lack of funding for sorting out our own rights: "We gathered metadata from various sources and integrated the result - we even call ourselves Open L*****y - but we [don't have manpower to figure out what we can do with it, so we added a disclaimer]." Cultural: "We're not sure how to prevent losing the records' provenance after we released our metadata."
